Safety and short‐term effectiveness of EEA stapler vs PPH stapler in the treatment of degree III haemorrhoids: prospective randomized controlled trial
Conclusion Data suggest that the EEA stapler has better haemostatic properties than the PPH stapler and allows resection of a larger area of mucosal prolapse with potential benefits over the recurrence rate of haemorrhoid prolapse. (Source: Colorectal Disease)

On Ethics and Self-Policing in (Citizen) Science
Science is experiencing a boost in enthusiasm and participation from the Citizen Science Movement. For those familiar it conjures up images of kids, adults and seniors counting birds or counting stars at night. Having thousands of eyes and ears all over the globe helping a team of scientists collect or sort through piles of data is so amazing. And impactful and evolving. Not only can you help collect data but you can be apart of the research, too. Projects like Your Wild Life allow you sample species in your navel, under your arm and on your kitchen counter. However, decentralizing the scientific process doesn't mean tha...

Plantwatch: 'When gorse is out of bloom, kissing is out of season'
In this cold weather, it lifts the spirits to see carpets of bright golden flowers of gorse bushes ablaze across commons, heaths, hedgerows, roadsides and derelict land.Gorse flowers are at their best around this time of year although they stay in flower most of the year, hence the saying "When gorse is out of bloom, kissing is out of season". When the sun shines bright, the flowers smell of a heady aroma of coconut and vanilla that makes a wonderful flavouring for wine, although picking the flowers amongst the minefield of thorns on the bushes is difficult.There are signs of early spring flowers emerging, although the wea...

Fiber 101: Soluble Fiber vs Insoluble Fiber
(HealthCastle.com) We all know the benefits of fiber! Fiber not only promotes gut health, but also helps reduce the risk of developing many chronic diseases. For instance, fiber prevents constipation, hemorrhoids and diverticulosis. A high-fiber diet is also linked to lower risk of developing some cancers, especially colon and breast cancer. In addition, it helps lower LDL cholesterol and total cholesterol. Furthermore, high-fiber foods generally have a lower glycemic index value, an important element in managing Type 2 diabetes. read more (Source: HealthCastle.com Nutrition Tips - written by Registered Dietitians)

Wild vegetable mixes sold in the markets of Dalmatia (southern Croatia)
Conclusions: The rich tradition of eating many wild greens may result both from strong Venetian and Greek influences and the necessity of using all food resources available in the barren, infertile land in the past. Although the number of wild-collected green vegetables is impressive we hypothesize that it may have decreased over the years, and that further in-depth local ethnobotanical studies are needed in Dalmatia to record the disappearing knowledge of edible plants.

What the male bowerbird can teach us about home furnishings
Take a lesson in DIY from the male bowerbird, which elaborately decorates its nest to seduce its mateThe male bowerbird has one dazzling bachelor pad. His nest, woven around a tree and carpeted with moss, takes years to build. Each bowerbird has his own exquisite taste in decorations; some prefer neat arrangements of blue and purple flowers while others enjoy the classic minimalism of dark seeds and glass. Common embellishments include leaves, coins, nails, shells and even live insects. This elaborate ritual is sacrosanct, because the bowerbird knows that if his bower isn't beautiful, he will not seduce his mate.But n...

Do we have to stop anticoagulant and platelet‐inhibitor treatments during proctological surgery?
Conclusion During proctological surgery the overall risk of postoperative bleeding is low, but it can occur up to 3 weeks after surgery and is often severe. Maintenance treatment with oral anticoagulants is the most important risk factor, aggravated by a change to heparin. Clopidogrel also significantly increases the bleeding risk.

Killer organisms and viruses that jump from animal to human are tracked down in this forensic studyLet's not beat around the bush. This is an extraordinary book. David Quammen has woven a story of incredible complexity; a detective story with a difference, with a host of murderers – all of them real. They are viruses, bacteria and single-celled organisms which infect other animals, but every now and then make the jump – spill over – to our own species. Each chapter follows the quest to track down a new villain. An international team of detectives works on the cases, and Quammen follows them as they uncover the traces...

Gaseous emission during the composting of pig feces from Chinese Ganqinfen system.
Abstract The Ganqinfen system - a process of manually cleaning animal feces by means of a shovel - is a widely used manure separating method in Chinese pig farms. Ganqinfen pig feces and chopped corn stalks were mixed at the ratio of 7:1, and composted in 1.5m(3) rotting boxes for 70d. Evolution of CH(4), N(2)O and NH(3) during composting, and the effects of turning and covering, were studied in this research. Results showed that 20-39% and 0.5-4% of total nitrogen were lost in the form of NH(3) and N(2)O respectively, and 0.1-0.9% of initial organic carbon was emitted as CH(4). Turning enhanced air exchange in the...

Benign anal and perianal polypoid neoplasms and tumor-like lesions.
Abstract Mesenchymal anal and perianal tumors are relatively uncommon. The majority are malignant. Benign mesenchymal anal tumors are rare. Some are common stromal neoplasms, but with the rare presentation as anal polyps. Other lesions are rare, but unique to the anal/perianal region. Common keratinous cysts might uncommonly present as anal polyps, while other rare cysts are unique to the anogenital region. A retrospective review study of 493 anal and perianal specimens conducted over seven years showed twenty cases (4.0%) of benign anal polypoid lesions.

The use of a detachable anvil enables an easier and safer stapled hemorrhoidopexy
Abstract Following the excision of hemorrhoidal nodes during hemorrhoidectomy, intense pain is reported to be the main postoperative problem, which can last for several weeks. Hemorrhoidopexy, an alternative treatment for hemorrhoids introduced in the late nineties, replaced hemorrhoid excision by a reduction of the hemorrhoids to their normal anatomical position, via an excision of a mucosal ring above the internal hemorrhoidal cushions. The latter excision results in minimal or no postoperative pain. In 2010, a new variant of the hemorrhoidopexy set was introduced in the European market. The variations of ...
